FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams is new in these parts, but that didn't stop him from delivering a fiery speech to the team after Sunday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Disturbed by what he perceived as "a dead sideline," Adams -- acquired via trade only five days before the game -- gave what quarterback Aaron Rodgers called "the realest speech I'd ever heard in a locker room in 20 years."

On Wednesday, Adams shared his motivation, explaining that he wants to be a leader and culture changer for the Jets (2-5), who have dropped four straight games in a season that began with Super Bowl aspirations.
